Wuthering Heights

I have recently undergone the painful procedures of separation from the world of a brilliant book, and, even though I wish that the intense tale would continue for a period of eternity, it is lamentable that the raw and passionate story should end at all. Wuthering Heights is a book of many perspectives: of the worst human nature with the most intensely feeling ones, and the dispassionate, crude human form. This, Emily Bronte, has brought forth, fulfilling the author's very own purpose of her short tragic life, her death deeply mourned.

Starting with the dark struggles of Heathcliff and Catherine's love for him, the book takes a melancholic and sad hue to it, following then yet another unhealthy obsession and ending with a hopeful one. Along with the gray setting of the sky's constant plummet, the atmosphere created never fails to perturb the reader. A classic fit to be described under Gothic fiction.

Wuthering heights is one of my all time favs.. some books have the power to haunt u for a while even after u close the book and Wuthering Heights has that lingering effect.. it can lead u into depression if u go too much into the plot.. in my case, i had mixed feelings for Heathcliff.. i hated him at times and pitied and cried for him at times.. life can be harsh at times and its not a rarity dat peopl may become beastly..

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

What is karmic debt? How to clear it for a successful life

Ever felt like you're stuck in a loop, facing the same challenges over and over? You might be dealing with karmic debt—a spiritual IOU from past actions. Understanding and clearing this debt can pave the way for a more successful and fulfilling life. ​​ What is karma and how does it influence our lives? Karma, a concept rooted in ancient spiritual traditions, operates on the principle of cause and effect. Essentially, it suggests that our actions, thoughts, and intentions create energy that returns to us in kind. This universal law implies that positive deeds lead to favourable outcomes, while negative actions result in undesirable consequences. ​ In my own life, I have observed how acts of kindness often lead to unexpected blessings. Conversely, moments of negativity seem to attract further challenges. This personal experience underscores the idea that our current circumstances are shaped by past behaviours, and our present choices lay the foundation for future experiences...

7 uncomfortable truths as real estate dawns at Shivalik Kandi Hills

Punjab real estate is quietly rewriting the future of the Shivalik Kandi Hills. While headlines chase the Aravallis, this fragile ecological buffer faces illegal farmhouses, policy shifts, and elite-driven development. This research-based narrative uncovers facts, forgotten laws, citizen resistance, and the real cost of eco-friendly constructions that may not be as green as they sound. You think real estate stories are about price and profit, until you realise this one is about rivers, forests, and who gets to bend the law. Read, question, and share before silence becomes policy. Are we watching Punjab real estate grow at the cost of its last green shield? Have you ever stood at the edge of a quiet forest and felt a strange calm, the kind that makes your breathing slow down without permission? I felt that calm once in the Shivalik Kandi Hills. It did not come from luxury or comfort. It came from the land itself. Today, that calm feels fragile, almost borrowed. Punjab re...
